Enriched weapons-grade uranium consists of 80% uranium-235 (235.044 amu) and 20% uranium-238 (238.051 amu). what is the average

atomic mass of weapons-grade uranium, assuming the percentages are exact?

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons with different numbers of neutrons, hence they have different masses.
the natural abundance of these elements vary, we are given percentages in which these isotopes exist.
average atomic mass is the weighted average atomic mass of an atom relative to 1/12th the mass of a C-12 atom. the average atomic mass can be calculated by taking the sum of the masses of isotopes multiplied by the respective abundance percentage 
average atomic mass = (235.044 amu x 80%) + (<span>238.051 amu x 20%)
                                   = 188.04 + 47.61
                                   = 235.65 amu
the average atomic mass is 235.65 amu </span>

AleksAgata [21]

for 39g water solute dissolved at 20C = solubility ( g/ 100 g H2O ) × mass of water = ( 11g / 100g H2O ) × 39g H2O = 4.29 g

amount of solute dissolved at 30 C =

               =  23 / 100 * 39 = 8.97 g

Amount of extra solute dissolved = 8.97 - 4.29 = 4.7 g

you rent a car in Germany with a gas mileage rating of 12.8km/L. What is its rating in miles per gallon?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

so one liter is about 2. something gallons so at 12.8 km/l you would get about 30 mpg which is insane but yeah

Describe endothermic vs. exothermic reactions in terms of product formation. (hint: what happens when products are formed?)
shusha [124]

Answer:

Endothermic reaction chemical equation

Reactnt A + Reactant B + Heat (energy) ⇒ Products

Exothermic reaction chemical equation

Reactnt A + Reactant B ⇒ Products + Heat (energy)

Explanation:

Endothermic Reaction

An endothermic reaction is a reaction that reaction that requires heat before it would take place resulting in the absorption of heat from the surrounding that can be sensed by the coolness of the reacting system

An example of an endothermic reaction is a chemical cold pack that becomes cold when the chemical and water inside it reacts

Exothermic Reaction

An exothermic reaction is one that rekeases energy to the surroundings when it takes place. This is as a result of the fact that the combined heat energy of the reactants is more than the chemical heat energy of the products. An example of an exothermic reaction is a burning candle
